Devrim Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 For example, sometime I close chat window and forget it long time, and one or more friend(s) mention about me and I never see it. If someone use @ with my nickname (i.e. @Devrim), chat window should open/appear automatically. Wouldn't it be useful in multiplayer missions especially?

ravenzino Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 I think the in game chat function might worth an overhaul... color and this, and probably a simple filter/channel selector. Guess it might not be on ED’s priority list though...

Nealius Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I feel like integrated radios would be better. Using chat while simultaneously manipulating stick and throttle requires a third hand, and it's even harder in VR.

Nealius Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Or just build the mission so everyone is on GUARD or some other default common frequency so tuning is not necessary. Even then, tuning is done via mouse or Jester, which is much easier in VR than keyboard manipulation.
ravenzino Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Forgot to mention... due to all sorts of reasons(environment, language, device, ...), not everyone can talk over radio...

Kang Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Even if the radio functionality of SRS could bei incorporated into base DCS at some point (and that would be nice, I think), I don't think we should get rid of the chat window entirely. It serves purposes beyond real-time comms, in my opinion. First of all, some matters are easier to communicate in writing than in speech, especially if people have different native languages. Secondly it's possible to display further information here ('killfeed', server-side messages...) that don't go away as quickly as message windows do.
